For details, visit with your high school counselor or contact the International Baccalaureate Organization.

When you're ready to apply to UND, you have the following options:

Prior to your exam results being released, ask your high school's IB coordinator to submit a transcript request to the IB on your behalf. The IB will then forward your transcript directly to UND. You may request a maximum of 6 transcripts through your school's IB coordinator at no charge, but only one can be requested for a U.S. school. or

After your exam results are released, you must request the IB to send your transcripts directly to UND by completing the appropriate transcript request form. A fee will apply.

Other College-Level Courses

If you're taking college-level courses through a college or university, you may transfer your credits to UND. Your school may refer to college-level courses as:

Dual Credit

Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO)

Early Entry

University in the High School Program

In general, all college-level credits attempted at institutions accredited by a regional or national accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), including the American Council on Education (ACE), will be transferred to UND

Certain exceptions to this rule include, but are not limited to, the following:

Remedial or preparatory courses

Credit granted for life experience by other institutions

Institution-based credit by exam

Non-degree continuing education courses

UND's academic departments will determine if the transferred credits will apply to your specific major and degree program.

Online, Enroll Anytime Courses from UND

If you're interested in taking college-level courses from UND while you're still in high school, check out UND's self-paced, enroll anytime courses. Pending your school's approval, these courses may qualify for dual credit.

Submit your college transcripts to UND

When you're ready to apply to UND, request the college or university where you earned the credit to send your official college transcript(s) directly to:

Typically, a high school transcript does not include the official information that is needed to properly award credit at UND, so you must obtain the transcripts directly from the college or university. Ask your counselor if you're unsure which college or university awards college-level credits at your high school.

Your college credits will be evaluated for transfer to UND as part of your admission application process.
